Gran Vertical

Gran Vertical, 60 hours of disconnection

Celebrate spring riding the Gran Vertical, an intense, exciting micro-trip weekend that invites you to explore those places that are often out of the scene. They are the B-side of the territory, spaces that are less considered but very valuable. There where life is expressed live, without tourist mediation.

The Gran Vertical is the heir, daughter or little sister of the CAT700. They share the essence. As with the CAT700, you can choose the option that suits you best: a gravel route, or a version on narrow roads, where slowness, effort and contemplation are the main ingredients.

Dates: The 2026 edition will take place from 17th to 19th April.
